Lost Legends: Snow vs Snouts

In the northern hemisphere, we’re deep into the snowy season, when your only chance at staying vertical on the street is to wear spiky shoes. And when I say deep, I mean literally snowed in. Inspired by our frosty adventures, this month we’re bringing you Snow vs Snouts, a Lost Legend in which you get to wield a beefed-up redstone launcher in a winter wonderland! 

Snow vs Snouts brings a brand-new combat style to the game, in which you focus on destroying piglin bases from afar, using an enhanced version of the powerful redstone launcher. Compared to its base game counterpart, the launcher you wield in this Lost Legend has a faster cooldown and (de)construction rate for more mobility and greater attack power. Plus, it has a knockback effect that makes blasting piglins with it really, really satisfying. 

Think this’ll be easy breezy? Here’s the catch: in this Lost Legend you can’t control mobs or build other structures – the single redstone launcher is all you have at your disposal to take down the piglins. So make sure you have your ranged attack skills down pat before you attempt this challenge! Succeed and you will receive the Snow Guardian hero skin for cleansing the frozen landscape of the piglins and their contraptions. 

While Snow vs. Snouts is the last Lost Legend we’re releasing, make sure you check out previous challenges. There’s a total of nine Lost Legends you can play right now, whether you’re looking for an intense battle or you just want to play as a llama. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t? 

A development update

Since launch, we’ve been working hard together with Blackbird Interactive to bring improvements and new features to Minecraft Legends based on your feedback. With Minecraft Legends, we took a completely new approach to gameplay, so much so that we had to make up a new genre for it (kind of): action strategy. Our community has always helped us shape our games and that’s something we value greatly, especially when launching a completely new game. 

The latest title update brought the fearless frog, witches, clangers, air choppers and a host of enhancements to the game’s mechanics, making the battles in Minecraft Legends even more intense. And, thanks to your input, we’ve made various tweaks to the gameplay and interface, from enhanced pathfinding to a more comprehensive Battle View UI. 

Since launch, we've listened to community feedback and implemented a series of changes and tweaks to make the game better. With that complete, we're now going to take a step back from development. While we won’t be releasing any new content (i.e. updates, Lost Legends, or Marketplace DLC) for Minecraft Legends, the fun doesn't stop here. We'll continue having a blast playing the game alongside our community because those rowdy piglins are showing no signs of slowing down. Plus, we’re leaving you one last freebie: the Bright-Eyed Hero skin, which you can claim now on Minecraft Legends Marketplace. Illuminate your path forward and continue fighting the good fight! 

Our existing Lost Legends challenges will remain available for free, and you’ll still be able to reap the rewards if you claim victory. We will of course continue to offer technical support to players, and we won’t be removing any functionalities or features from the game. PvP and co-op will also remain fully functional, so you can continue playing whether you prefer to take on the piglins by yourself or battle alongside (or against) friends.  

Thank you for following along this heroic journey and helping us make Minecraft Legends the game it is today. With the support of our team, our partners, and the Minecraft community, we’re going to continue exploring the types of games we're passionate about and bringing new experiences to the Minecraft universe. Together, we united the Overworld, made some adorably scary friends, and most importantly, showed those piglins that they messed with the wrong dimension, again and again. Keep your banners raised because the Overworld will always need a hero!
